LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – iSportConnect, a leading global membership service connecting key decision makers across the sports industry, returns as a Principal Media Partner for the SportAccord World Sport & Business Summit in Birmingham, West Midlands, taking place from 7 \u2013 11 April 2024.<\/p>\n

iSportConnect is a global platform powered by the largest network of private members involved in the business of sport. A powerhouse of bright minds, key influencers and thinkers, the iSportConnect community is a coveted space where leaders like to go.<\/p>\n

The iSportConnect service enables members to collaborate with industry peers, stay connected and current with news and opinion, or take part in specialist events – focused on the business of sport. This benefits all members whether they are the MD of an OTT sports streaming and entertainment platform available in 200 countries, or the CEO of the leading professional golf tour in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to welcome iSportConnect on board for the World Sport & Business Summit in Birmingham, West Midlands,<\/em>” said Martin Gibbs, Managing Director of SportAccord.<\/strong> “iSportConnect’s unrivalled network will play a crucial role in integrating the business of sport into the event. When the world\u2019s largest private sports business network partners with SportAccord, the results are truly rewarding. The media collaboration is designed to combine both platforms, delivering added value and creating an immensely successful partnership.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

iSportConnect workshop at SportAccord<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the partnership engagement, iSportConnect will also host a workshop at SportAccord aimed at tackling disruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last few years have shown how vulnerable we are when external factors around the world can disrupt the best laid plans when it comes to hosting global sports events or taking part in international competitions. The challenges are growing and not getting any easier,<\/em>\u201d said Sandy Case, CEO of iSportConnect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The iSportConnect workshop will\u00a0cover fundamental issues around organisational travel and security that wouldn\u2019t have garnered too much interest in the past. However, in the current climate these topics have taken on a much greater significance.<\/em><\/p>\n

World events, climate change and macro-economics have come together at such a pace in recent years, that many of us are struggling to keep up with the challenges presented in this fast-moving environment. The iSportConnect workshop will arm delegates with practical intel and know-how so they can start tackling challenges – tomorrow.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
